ENTRY-TAG.

' Patented Dec. 24, 1907.

Application filed November 27,1906. Serial No. 345,301.

, script-ion.-

The purpose-of the invention is to provide a tag especially adapted for marking the exhibits` atv fairs, and similar places of diS- play, and to so construct the tag-that a removable gumrned or cemented panel constitutes a portion of the tag, the panel vbeing locatedadjaeent to the panel or space for the name, or name and. address of the exhibitor, the relation of the two panels being such that the removable panel may be folded and secured in position over the name panel, acting as a 'flap to conceal the exhibitors name un til after the exhibit has been judged.

The invention consistsin the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth and pointced out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the fig,

ures.

vFigure l is a .front elevation of the .improved tag as it appears when about to be attaehed to an exhibit; Fig. 2 is a similar 'view ofthe tag, showing the concealing flap partially removedfroni the body of the tag; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical section through the tag folded as shown in Fig. 1.

The tag may beV made of any desired dimensions and from any vappropriate mate# rial. It consists practically of a body section A and a detachable concealing iiap or panel B, which by preference is at the bottom portion of the body A, being separated therefrom by a line of-perfprations 10,- indentations, QI' the equivalent 5 thereof. The detachable concealing flapB is provided with a gurnrned surface 11 on its inner or front face,

` ,preferably at its outer longitudinal or bottom ed e.

50 panels, namely, a main panel 12, a vcorner The ody .A is shown divided into' three panel 13 and aname panel 14; and in one corner of the body A an aperture l15 is usually provided, throughwhich a cord' may be passed for attaching the tag to an article.

Adress The corner panel 13 isdivided from the main body panel 12 by lines of. perforations 16.

l do not confine myselfto anyspecifie dis-` play matter on the tag, but the panel 12 usually contains thel number of l the tag, which is duplieatedin the corner panel 13,

the name ofthe fair or show, and also usually' the following matter is printed on said main body panel 12, Division, Class, Lot, Entry Number, Article, While upon the name panel 14, which is separated from the concealing flap or panel B by the aforesaid line ,of perforations 10, a line 17 is usually printed, headed Exhibitor and followed by a second line 18, headec Ad- The concealing. a of suflicient width when fo ded over upon the main panel A to cover and completely or panel B is conceal the name and 'address of the exhibitor; and at said timey the eoneealin' panel is held folded upon the main `pane by the cement' or gum employed. The corner panel 13 may be dispensed with. When used, however, it is torn off from the tag and retained by the exhibitor until the goods are to be ,removed When' the detached stub or panel is presented for identification.

,In Fig. 1 Ihave illustrated. the? tag with the concealing flap folded upon the body and secured thereto, completely concealing lthe naine panel 14. In Fig. 2 I have illus-v trated the concealing flap as' separated at its gummed portion from the main panel andv also partially torn therefrom.

When a tag1 of the character described is employed thenames of the exhibitors are kepteoncealed until the judges have passed 'upon the articles.

Having., thus described my invention, I l

claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. An Ventry tag for fairs and other places of displayexhibitions, provided with a main panel at one end having a corner panelseparated from the main panel by a weakened line, -a concealing panelat the other end o f the tag, and a name panel between the main and -the concealing panel, the -said concealing panel being lseparated from the name panel by a weakened line and arranged to be folded over the name panel and secured` thereto to conceal the entries thereon.

2. An entry. tagfor use at fairs and other display exhibitions; sub-divided into a main entry panel'at the' ton of the tag, having a panelby a 'line of perforations located below vthe name panel, the saidy concealing panel linenting material carried by the concealing detachable corner panel, a name panel, and l panel by a line of periorations, an intermea concealing panel at the bottom of the tag diate panel, and a detachable concealing 15 and iorining a portion of the tag proper, panel at the other end ofrthe tag, and adaptbeing partially separated from the body ed to be folded over the intermediate panel and seoured'in said folded osition.
